Enriched Housing: Living with Assistance on Long Island

Finding that next step. Together.

It’s usually a loved one who first notices. Routine activities like housekeeping, shopping, cooking and especially driving become a growing cause for concern. Though we all want to be completely independent for as long as possible, when physical abilities begin to diminish, it’s natural to need a helping hand now and then.

An enriched housing residence at the Tuttle Center provides this help in a way that’s personal, one-on-one, and that allows people to feel comfortable, secure and independent. We create an atmosphere that invites social interaction and engagement in life, with just the right amount of support.
